The Clarion: The Senate yesterday,
by a yote of 20 to 17, passed House
bill No. 3& introduced by Mr. Madi
son of Noxnbee which is as follows:
An act to repeal motion 1369, chapter 51 of
tne (tensed node or isbu. entitled an ct
in relation tooontracts to tnoumlier grow
ing crepe.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Legis
lature of the State of Ilirxbmippi, That sec
tion 13541, chapter 51, Revised Code of
1RS0 of the Htate of Mississippi, be and
the same is hereby repealed.
Section 2. Be ii further enacted, That
this act shall be in force and effect
from and after tho first day of July,
1 X8, aid the crop grown in the vear
m shall not be affected thereby.'
Tho section referred to made it law
ful for anyone to encumber any crop
to be grown within fifteen months
from date of deed of trust. Said sec
tion being repealed, the common law
provisions on that subject are again in
full force and effect. It will hence
forth only bo lawful to encumber
crops that are actually growing or
grown at dato of mortgage, and not
such as are to be grown.
A darky Yonn Cllrl,
Hhthoit, Mich., March 4. A slen
der, bright-eyed young girl of seven
teen or eighteen years, hanging tightly
to a burly fellow and ordering him
alxut, attracted the attention of the
people- abont the Michigan Central
dejxt yesterday. The young woman
was Hattie McKay, daughter of Sheriff
McKay of Tuscola county. She was
on her way to Jackson prison, and had
in her costodv Samuel Woodman, who
was sentenced from Tuscola county for
one year for assaulting his wife with a
carving knife. The sheriff is very sick
at home, and Hattie, since his illness,
has taken op and down so much of his
business as it is possible for a woman
to do. When asked if she was not
afraid to bring soch a strong and des
perate man to prison, she replied: "O,
indeed no. I don't handcuff him, but
I have a revolver in my pocket, and I
keep him in light all the time. If he
was to start to get away from me I
would call out for help, and some of
the men on the train would help me."
A Protbytei-lan Proclamation.
Dublin, March 4. Nothing more of
an acrimonious character ought now
to be said about the participation of
the Catholic clergy in the discussion
of the Irish crisis, after this proclama
tion of the moderator of the Irish
General Presbyterian Assembly, the
Kev. James W. Whigham: "f have
received requisitions from the Presby
terians asking me to call a special
meeting of the General Assembly to
consider tho present serious state of
the country and the duty of the as
sembly in relation thereto." 1 hereby
summon a special meeting of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of Ireland at the May Street
chnrch, Belfast, Ireland, on Tuesday,
the Oth instant."
Tar Right to Examine Publlr
rterord.
Makioii, Isi., March 4. A case in
volving t he right of examination of the
books and piiterB in the offices of
county recorders of Indiana has been
decided here. A firm of abstracters,
some time ago, were denied access to
the county records for the purpose of
copying the same or making notes
thereof, on the ground that the
straeters had no interest in the proper
ties described further than to nse tbj
information thus derived as a cois
modity for simulation, which was
usuiMition of the rights and emolu
ment of the recorder. The nluinti tb
drought action against iiecordr
Hamaker, asking the co'irt for a wrt
of mandamus to compel the dcfendait
to grant the plaintitls the ri;:ht to i
spect and examine the records in tlie
recorder's office, and to take nous
from the same for reference. Judre
Lotz, in his ruling, holds that any ie
interested in the records of a court y
has a right to examine the same ail
to make such memoranda as ho wishes;
that for this iurose it was t
necessary that tlie person niakinsr fiie
examination should be the ownerjof
the property described, but that lie
power of agent or attorney liestoJed
that interest which was 'essentia to
the right of an examination.
ABOUT WOMEN.
Some ten years ago tbe Kev Yrk
San employed Miss Annie Ballard at
regular repoiter, and she gay such

active membership in the Preu Cub.
favor not since ascorded to any of
her sex. She ii now in Ceylon, and
she is minus a successor, tithe ugh
there are one or two other women em
ployed as writers for the Sun, noae of
whom have ever attained the distinc
tion of being enrolled among tbe dtly
news-gatherers, without whom ' tbe
people cf New York could not reliah
their matutinal Mocha,
Miss Moboah, who makes cstt'.t
market reporting in the New "York
Tiibune a specialty, 1b tsll, lithe, mus
cular and grace ul as fawn; her
drev, adapted to her duties, is short
aid substantial, combining utility and
corcf jrt, but not eacritie'Dg the attri
butes cf her sex in its construction.
Her softly waving fair brown hair is
usually brushed back from her deli
cately veined temples and confined in
a ntt low on her neck. Her hands
are stiongly, delicately nervous in
their clasp, and her voice might have
charmed the mad king who lov.d his
Cordelia for the gentle qualities cf
that organ.
Tbk New York Tribune employs the
w fe of a weil-knowo ex-fl aucier, ex
politician and ex-lawyer to cull the
petals of rote-colored gossip pervading
the fashionable eosietyof the metropo
lis, but on no account does thii repre
S9ttstive exceed the bounds cf special
duty, and she would resent, ai a mortal
offense, any intimation of reportorial
work. The World gives tome space to
the work of the ladies on toilet topics,
andan occaslonel "stickful" isequeeied
into it columns that eavorB of news
from the pen of a woman, but there
are none cf the sex regularly enrolled
on the ttiff for daily assignment to re
porlotial duty.
The New York Star has four salaried
women on its staff and two who con
tribute to space, but none of , these are
regarded as reporters who may be a?-
signed tj the daily routine of varied
labor allotted to the men. Une woman
writes sketches, another devotes her
time to society and fashion notes in a
general way, and they all contribute
news that a woman a tact and delicacy
may glean, but they regaid themselves
as journaliBti, aud quite coincide with
tbe view that Mr. Doraheimer ex
presses: "Women are not fitted for
night work and long tiamps out of
town at a moment's notice."
Woman's Journal: A curious side
light is thrown on the rapid but noise
lees progress which the woman snf
f.age movement is making, by the
fact that "Graham" (Miss F. G.
French), our able Washington correc
pondent, in revising her etttement of
1882, on woman's legal rights in Echool
questions in the different States and
Tenitoriee, has bal ti mark changes
for the better in tbe lawsot lowa,
Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, New York,
Rhode Island-Vermont, Nevada and
Dakota and Wajhinaton Territories.
Thus it turns out that eleven States
and Territories have moved in this
ma ter and improved their laws within
tile two years 18S3 and 1884.
Ths New York Morning Journal has
two women on its staff, one of whom
furnishes the stories and the other toe !
society and fashion gossip, but they i
are never assigned to promiscuous
duty as are the men. The Telegram
accepts the services of a number of
women, who contribute matter relat
ing to society and fashion, but "space"
is their allotment, and none of them
have the right ff staff privileges. The
Pott, Commercial Advertmr and all of
the Sunday papers employ the pens of
women in ceitain departments, and all
of the weeklies find them more or Ibbb
available in editorial work, yet one
and all of tbe managing editors of the
dailies agree that women are constitu
tionally unfit lor tne arduous duties
that devolve upon the successful re
porter. Qi'ken Christina of Spain proves to
be a veritable Maria Theresa. Since
the death of tbe King, and since she
has been able so far to subdue her
poignant grief, every one has observed
the complete change that has taken
place in her. The lively and pleasant
woman, as is evident to all, has given
place to the serious, active and atten
tive regent. She sees men of all parties,
discusses their principles with them,
arid defends their arguments against
her Ministers, co as t) know the pros
and cobs cf every policy. She is con
versant with foreign policy and knows
the leanings, mistakes ana capabilities
cf all European statesmen. She speaks
Spanish and three or four other lan
guages with fluency and correctness,
and writes well in German, French
and Spanish. She is displaying, in
shoit, great ruling power.', is rapidly
winning popularity, has gained the
affections of the respectable members
tf her family, and is on the best of
terms with Queen Isabella. She con
verses with officers on military mat
ters with a certa'n timidity, which
renders more ttriking her correct
judgment.
Miss Coba A. Binnison of Quincy,
III , a graduate of the law school of
Michigan University, started three
years ago from San Francisco, with a
lady friend, fir a trip atound the
world. Although these ladies traveled
alone through countries on the verge
of war and peetilence, they suffered
no rudeness, but met with kindness
and attention on every band. Miss
Benneeon is now giving "Conversa
tions on Foreign Travel, which are
said to be exceedingly interesting.
She tells how she traveled in the se
dan chairs of China, penetratad the
sacred cities and temples of India, en
joyed dromedary-back exerci. e in the
Soudan within sight of the artillery
dishes of the British eqnares, rode on
horseback across Palestine from Jeru
salem to Damascus, traversed tbe
heart cf the Greek Peloponnesus, and
visited with Schliernann his excava
tions, explored the fiords ot the Nor
wegian shore in a coasting vessel, saw
Russian life in St. Petersburg and Mos
cow and footed it through Switzer
land, the English Lake District, and
many other places of interest.

itc Ceremonies at tho
Cathedral.
Nkw York, March 4. Thronsw of
the faithful crowded around St.
Patrick's Cathedral this morning,
anxious to secure admission to witness
tho Ceremonies attending the confer
ring of the pallium upon Archbishop
Corrigan, which will install him at the
head of the See of New York. This
includes the dioceses of Brooklyn,
Buffalo, Newark. Trenton, Rochester
andOgdcnshtirg. Admission was gained
by ticket. Parties who had no ticket
were not allowed in, and were turned
away. A squad of police preserved
order outside the cathedral. 10 very
church in tho neighboring -cities was
represented. Promptly at 1 o'clock
the services were commenced. Cardinal-elect
Gibbons of Baltimore and
Bishops Mclnerny, (Vmroy and Me
Mahou, Monsignor Doane and Dr.
O'Connell occupied wits within the
chancel rail, on the right side of the
altar. The latter was plainly decorated
with a few flowers, just sufficient to set
off the richness of the Italian marble,
of which it is made. The priests and
alcolytes led the procession, Arch
bishop Corrigan, arraved in golden
robes and attended by Monsignors
Preston and Quinn, following. They
marched down the aisle and up
through the center aisle to the chancel
rail, whero the clergymen divided,
taking seats on either side, the Arch
bishop, with Monsigiuirs Preston and
Quinn, advancing to the altar, where
the former kissed the cross presented
to him by Archbishop F.lder, the cele
brant of the pontifical mass ami the
custodian of tlio pallium. A choir of
150 boys sang the "Te Deum," after
which the mass was lommenced.

ICOBBISPONDIXCl Of THI APPB1L.I
Colombia, Tbnn , March 4. There
is a disposition on the part of some
nai row-minded men to question the
Democracy of a'l who sustain tbe
Blair educational bill. This is a great
mistake, aid if they persist in it they
will injure tbe Democratic parly t
some extent, but they wilt irjure
themselves to a much greater extent.
My opinion is that a large m. j riiy of
the Democia's of Tennessee sustain
the Blair educational bill. It may,
and perhaps doep, need amendment
in some particulars, but tbe people
favor the passage of such a bill, and
woe be to tbe politician who opposes
it. This country is waking up to the
importance and absolute necessity of
public schools. I have befre me
some speeches on that subject mads
in this county, extiaots from which I
will send you hereafter, which present
the subject in a new acd striking light.
Tbe fact thrt the Appeal has sus
tained the Blair bill is ationg proof
that it is a sound Demrcia'ic measuie.
This is tbe great stock county of
Tennessee, and it is very interesting to
ba here on the day cf a stock show,
euch at the first Monday in April will
be. This is the only town of any size
in Middle Tennessee that has never
had the cholera or any other epidemic.
It has also waterworks, situated on a
high hill overlooking the town, aod
water can be carried by pipes over the
tops of Ihe highest bouses in thetown.
This is a great advantage in a manu
facturing point of view. Many of tbe
distinguished citizens of Memphis
once lived here. Bishop James H,
Otey, Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, Samuel
P. Walker, Knox Walker, Walter
Coleman, Wm. Coleman aod George
Gantt. P. 0. Bethel, who died in
your city and once resided there, d d
a great deal for Co'umbia whilst a citi
zen here. The people here regrtt
very much that his son moved t3
Memphis. They bated so much to
lose him.
Tbe value of the farm pioducts of
Shelby county is much greater than
ia f) vnlu of the firm products
f.ith-r in Davidson or In this county,
t if i a id is much lower in Shelby
itinii in either of them. This I will
account f jr in a subsequent letter.
OBSERVER.
Trouble an tbe Mexican Border.
Nkw York, March 4. A Galveston
special says: A startling report lias
just been'received here from Carrizo,
a town just sixty miles below Laredo,
on the Rio Grando river. AU able
bodied citizens are under arms resist
ing an attack from Mexican bandits.
A sheep herder from a ranch near Car
rizo arrived in that town yesterday
morning in a state of great excite
ment, claiming that he bad tho night
before been a prisoner in the hands of
about fifty Mexican bandits who were
making preparations to raid and plun
der the town of Carrizo. Tho herder
said that the bandits were all heavily
armed and well mounted, and that
their attack could bo expected any
moment. Hence the precaution of
the citizens, who are prepared to give
them a warm reception. As Company
F, Nineteenth' Infantry, are en route
from Ringgold burracks to Laredo, it
must te near there by this time, and
it is likely they will take a band
against the bandits should they make
the attack. Much interest is mani
fested here for later intelligence,
which is expectod to be of a most
startling character.
Chinese Lravliic California for
Texaa.
El Paso, Tnx.,Miroh 4. In the last
few davs a large number of Chinese
from California have passed through
El Paso on their way to New Orleans
and Texas cities. Many of them are
also locating in the Territorial towns
of New Mexico and Arizona. San
Francisco is represented as swarming
with Mongolians who have been
driven out of Oregon and Washington
Territory, and the pressure, it is
claimed, is being relieved by the "Six
Companies" shipping ' them East,
where the antagonism against the
Chinese is not so strong as on the
Pacific slope. This influx, however,
into the Territories of Arizona and
New Mexico has aroused the latent
antagonism there, and anti-Chinese
leagues have already been organized
at Socorro and othej- towns in New
Mexico, and at Tucson and Tomb
stone in Arizona, all of which places
are suffering from a heavy increase in
their Chinese population, and which
may lead to their violent eviction, as
was recently the case in Washington
